2. HE CALLED EBONY MAW “SQUIDWARD”!!
Tony do not hold back when it comes to nicknames. You don’t have to be his friend to get a nickname from him. He can easily give you one, even at your first meeting. This is what happened when Ebony Maw came to Earth, to finish the task Thanos gave him. But due to his funny face and dangling nose just like “Squidward” from the kids cartoon show “SpongeBob SquarePants”, Tony gave him the name Squidward. Which suits him quite well!
3. “CAPSICLE” IS A CREATIVE NAME!!
Tony Stark and Captain America share a great friendship. They sometimes get into little arguments, but that is what makes them more fun to watch. As Tony’s carefree attitude and Captain’s disciplined personality might sometimes make them disagree with each other but the fans know that this is what makes them a great duo. Tony calls him “Capsicle” taunting him about how he was trapped in ice and cryogenically frozen for so many years. It’s a pretty smart nickname!
4. “BUILD-A-BEAR” FOR ROCKET!!
Tony called Rocket Build-A-Bear, at their first meeting in Avengers: Endgame. And as we all can predict, Rocket didn’t like it. Rocket is a pretty sassy character as well.

5. BUCKY AS “MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE”!!
The name “Manchurian Candidate” came from the novel The Manchurian Candidate, a novel by Richard Condon.

It is a great nickname as it suits him perfectly.
6. “JOLLY GREEN” SUITS HIM!!
Bruce has finally found the balance between his calm personality and the humongous incredible Hulk. In the Endgame, we saw that he can be the Hulk and still be calm and normal like Bruce Banner.

7. “ROCK OF AGES” FOR LOKI!!
When Loki attacked the Earth in 2012’s The Avengers, the heroes faced a lot of problems. Loki is a real master of mischief and is very powerful. And his long hairs are an important part of his look. When Tony and Loki met, Tony as usual gave him a funny nickname. This time he called him “Rock Of Ages”. As Tony is a citizen of New York City, so he is quite familiar with the Broadway musicals. He called him Rock Of Ages, as it’s a hit musical about hair metal culture of the 80’s and Loki has the hairstyle that fits perfectly in this category.
8. SPIDER-MAN AS “UNDEROOS”!!
Tony called Peter “Underoos” because it used to be brand a that made onesies for young kids in the 70’s, so that can dress like their favorite superhero.

9. “WIZARDS” FOR DOCTOR STRANGE AND WONG!!
Tony called Stephen Strange and Wong “Wizards” as they were using their powers which Tony thought were some sought of magical mystery powers. When the minions of Thanos came to Earth to get the precious stone, Doctor Strange and Wong helps Tony to fight them. Tony asked Bruce to turn into Hulk to help him, but Hulk was just not feeling it, so didn’t come to help. Because of this Tony says that Bruce his embarrassing him in front of the “Wizards”.
10. “BLUE MEANIE” KINDA SUITS HER THO!!
